Did You Rush Home from School?

 My Grandson Junior told me today that he can't wait to get home from school to carry on sorting through his Pokémon cards. 

I remember that feeling so well, rushing home after school to do my own stuff and projects. The joy of youth.

Did you wait all day at School readers to get home and do your own thing? WhAt did you do?

    When I was a kid, for my tea and then to play with Spacex/Anderson toys. As an adult to spend time building Spacex/Anderson models!

    I had to run and catch the Dark Shadows show on TV. In later years it was Star Trek in syndication. I always missed the first ten minutes of each episode. :-( My non-homework projects were usually models.

    I certainly rushed home for tea, but also for the kids TV shows, such as Blue Peter, Magpie, The Tomorrow People, The Double Deckers, Motormouse and Autocat, Star Trek : The Animated Series, and any Gerry Anderson stuff.

    When I was in grade school, it was to get home quick so I can either play outside (or in bad weather, play with my toys). In high school I remember clearly rushing home to watch reruns of Star Trek which came on at 4PM

      What a great reason to rush home. Star Trek. I'm right behind you Ed!

    Oh great topic! The animated re-do of Gatchaman (called ‘Battle of the Planets’) kept me in shape for much of elementary school, running home from school to make it in time for the opening theme (and to gather swooshable toys to play along).
